Why does Mesa use the "Airshuttle" call sign?

Why TSA use "waterski(?)"?

Wasn't it a Polish airline?

"Air Shuttle"

The callsign is based on the fact that the airline started out running between FMN and ABQ and it was known as the "Albuquerque Air Shuttle", not the "New Mexico Air Shuttle".

inquiring minds would like to know! thanks.

It just sounds like "Airshuttle", what they are really saying is "airsharttle", ya know like from Along comes Polly, "dude we gotta leave, I think I sharted my pants" "Ya know when you fart and a little $hit comes out too"
BAAAHAAAA

Sorry guys, I physically cringe when I hear that call sign, it's like fingernails on a chalkboard - the worst one in the business. I feel for you having to say that all the time.

AirShuttle though, hmm . . . at Okie State there was a pizza delivery chain called Pizza Shuttle, we tended to call it Pizza Sh!ttle. You connect the dots, although the flights I've jumpseated on them lately don't deserve that moniker at all.

Hey - Dont knock pizza shuttle.

Why does Colgan Air use "colgan"?

 

[Mr Biggelsworth]

Why do they call potatoes, potatoe, when I say potato?

 

[EDUC8-or]

Just do what I do and mentally change the "U" in Shuttle to an "I".

Professional guys, real professional. Hey I got an idea, instead of being tools why don't you try to help us get a leg up. We're playing for keeps, and we'll be watching who supports us. Got a problem with our contract? Help us make it better, chances are we belong to the same union, come over to our offices and see how you can help. If you take it upon yourself to constantly criticize without making any effort to improve the situation you are part of the problem.
